RE: Hello, STEEMIT: Let's Talk About IQ
Thanks for this interesting post. There are so many factors that figure into the intelligence equation that aren't able to be included on the IQ test. I've known some people that graduate from college with the highest marks and they have a hard time navigating life. On the other hand there's the guy or girl that was a student with average marks and they are very successful. To me there's IQ, being smart and the ultimate is the wisdom to employ the first two.
People seem to have a lot of anecdotal examples of IQ not correlating to success. This has been the case with me, also. But then again, I haven't known a lot of objectively successful people (millionaires), but the few I do know do have high IQs.
It's not that IQ makes you successful, but it makes it a lot easier, and people who are successful tend to have high IQs.
Yes. There's a reason behind the etymology of "philosophy"
"Philo" + "Sophia" = the love of wisdom.
